South Wales Evening Post - 18 April 2006
Throughout South Wales, particularly in Swansea and Cardiff, there is much talk of cuts in education provision, brought about by the "problem" of falling rolls. You would think that in authorities where the Liberal Democrats have a key role this could never happen.
After all, did they not campaign for a reduction in class sizes? Falling rolls are not a problem, they present an opportunity to make good on promises.
We need less money wasted on change for change's sake, on pointless paperwork and bureaucratic interference and more spent where it is needed, in the classroom and on pupils' needs.
